Import Tips & Compliance

Verify bumper material composition (e.g

polypropylene) via lab testing for accurate HTS classification and fiber/plastic content declarations

Include engineering drawings and vehicle compatibility specs in documentation to prove it's a part for motor vehicles in 8701-8705

Avoid misclassification as trailer bumpers (8716); check for DOT markings and ensure no retail packaging that might trigger GRI 3 rules
